Vibrant - A Inkling boy in outer splatsville
Syliva hopped out of the sewer grate, slipping out of octopus form and into her more human form. What was this warmth she thought to herself, looking up into the sun, and quickly shielding her eyes, was this... the real sun? She had heard of it from the retired generals from the great turf war, but she had never seen or felt it before, and the sand underneath her felt just as hot to the touch when she tried picking some up. She noticed a civilization nearby, with trees, grass, and water. Just like the cities in the Octarian domes! She started walking towards it when she saw a what looked like an odd Octoling from the distance, but as she started getting closer and the figure looked at her, the mask around their eyes alerted her they were an Inkling. She thought of grabbing her dualies, only to realize they were still in her training locker... inside the Octarian domes... She didn't know what to do, she had no weapon to ink with, nowhere to hide, so she just stood there in fear, as the inkling approached. When they got close enough, Sylvia dodge rolled backwards into a kneel, ready to run for it back to the sewer. They said something incomprehensible to her, another language. She stared in confusion, mostly due to being told that Inklings were monsters who'd attack on sight but this one was just standing in front of her, seemingly trying to remember something, without weapons or anything to really attack her with. Finally, the Inkling spoke her language, Octarian. "Uhm, Hello there!" The inkling said, to Sylvia's suprise, they seemed to not have too much trouble speaking each word. "Hi, who are you?"
"I'm Vibrant! Im a Inkling, what's your name?"
"Sylvia... Where am I?"
"We're in outer Splatsville, the biggest city around!"
"Am I in any danger here?"
"Nope, In fact theres lots of Octolings in the city after the 2 Zapfish had returned to Inkopolis."
"Really? What language were you speaking before, by the way?"
"That was Inkish, it's the main language around here."
"Then how do you know Octarian?"
"It's a language my octoling friend's taught me!"
"Could you maybe teach me Inkish?
"Sure, but uh maybe you should get some clothes, that doesn't seem to comfortable."
Sylvia had just remembered the latex uniforms from her training, she hadn't gone home to change before leaving the domes, and to make it worse, she was showing so much skin that was starting to burn, especially the knee she had been kneeling on for the last minute or so. She quickly pulled herself up, and brushing the sand off her leg, but as she touched her leg, she felt a spike of pain every time she touched, flinching every time. "Ouch- That looks like a pretty painful burn..." Vibrant said to her.
"But I thought burns were only from fire"
"Well what do you think the sun is? A lightbulb?"
"Oh... That didn't occur to me..."
"Its fine, you didn't know, come on, lets get you some ice for your leg." Vibrant offered her his hand, she took it as he lead her to one of the buildings in the distance and up the steps to a door. "Is this your home?" She asked, as Vibrant opened the door to a simple studio apartment with turf war weapons, posters, stickers, and shelves of shoe boxes, Items and trinkets. "Yep, Its sort of mess but its home!" Vibrant said as he fast walked inside and walked over to a cabinet in the apartment kitchen and looking inside. "Its nice, Vibrant. My home was a lot less nice the power went out often."
"That sucks... AHA!" Vibrant uncrouched with a first aid kit and reached into the refrigerator, pulling out a plastic bag with ice inside. "I got everything we need to treat the burn, you can sit on the couch while I find some clothes for ya." He said, bringing the kit and ice bag over to the coffee table and placing them down.
"Yeah, that works." Sylvia said as she walked in finally, closing the door and heading to the couch. She took the first aid kit then treated and wrapped up her burn, holding the makeshift ice pack on it to cool it and somewhat numb the pain.
